ORCHARD PUBLICATIONS


Welcome to our Web site. Our mission is to publish concise and easy-to-learn educational texts at affordable prices. Most of our books are MATLAB®-and Simulink®-based, well known, and now sold worldwide. Our titles are ideal for self-study. No previous knowledge of MATLAB is required; the material in the appendices and the inexpensive MATLAB Student Version (12 through 15) is all you need. Even though our texts can be used without MATLAB, we highly recommend to our readers to first read the appendices that serve as an introduction to MATLAB to become familiar with this outstanding software package, then go through the MATLAB script following the examples. We believe that learning by example is the best way to become proficient with MATLAB. To find out what MATLAB and Simulink are please click on QUESTIONS / ANSWERS
